These sumptuous Raspberry pavlova cupcakes are perfect for grown up outings
110g butter or margarine
110g caster sugar
2 medium eggs
2-3 drops Dr. Oetker Natural Vanilla Extract
75g self-raising flour, sieved
For the Mini Meringues
2 egg whites
110g caster sugar
For decoration
Double Cream
Fresh raspberries
Raspberry coulis
Icing sugar for dusting
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4. Place the baking cases into a cupcake tin.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs and the vanilla extract. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a little flour. Fold in the remaining flour with a spoon.
Spoon the mixture into the baking cases and bake for 15-20 minutes until well risen and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a cooling rack.
To make the meringues place the egg whites into a large bowl and whisk on a slow speed for 2 minutes or until the egg whites are foamy. Whisk on medium speed for a further 2 minutes and finally on high speed for a further minute.
Gradually add the sugar into the egg whites, continually whisking on high speed until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper. Place a teaspoon of mixture per mini meringue onto the baking sheet.
Place in the centre of the pre-heated oven for 25 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the meringues in the oven until completely cool.
In a separate bowl whip the double cream until it creates still peaks when lifting your whisk. Spread the cream onto the cupcakes and top with a mini meringue.
Place two or three fresh raspberries on the meringue, drizzle with raspberry coulis and dust with icing sugar for the perfect finish.
